Sparks and flashes: New screens from Persona 4 fighter photo

Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena is one heck of a good looking fighter. These new screens from Japan show several of the cast members (no one ones yet) in battle, and you'll get plenty of sparks, light flashes and other blue/yellow particle effects in them. Hell, one of the screenshots shows nothing but sparks and flashes and sparkles and such.

The one included character select screen shows a bunch of blanked out cards. That bastard Igor looks on from a distance with a smirk on his face, as if to say that he knows exactly what characters are in store for us. Big-nosed bastard.

Imagine if after completing the game with every character, when playing it again with anyone, you could face a hidden boss like Reaper/Death.... and imagine if it was a "Dramatic Mode" type battle.
Atlus better make a Persona 4/5/6/7/8/9 and SMT games for the X360.

Looks GREAT!

And Kanji clearly took some steroids or something between p4 and this...

I wonder if there'll be some kind of RPG elements in it, or if it's a pure fighting game...

Can/Should I play this without having played any of the Persona games?

where should I start?

@Zeedles : I suggest you at least play Persona 4, so you know a bit about the main cast of this game and why the hell they are fighting inside a television with a stuffed bear for host, under the supervision of Igor and his tarot cards. So far, only Aegis from Persona 3 has been announced as a playable character, so you can live without knowing her story I suppose.

... Strangely, they show Rise in the screens and trailer. Will she reprise her role as commentator or will she actually get to use her persona for some fighting this time?

Aaaaaaaaand I hope they include a way to unlock each character's final form of their persona! That would effectively double a character's move selection!

I must be the only one not going crazy over this. It looks fine, but I was pissed when Atlus started to turn Persona 3 into their own Final Fantasy VII, milking the name just for money. Now it looks like it's Persona 4's turn.

@ElReminator: the footage people took of the arcade cab at TGS showed Rise commentating the matches. Who knows what's under those 4 face-down cards, but I'm guessing it's not Rise.

Definitely Teddie and Naoto, maybe the villain, maybe the new party member from P4: The Golden.

It would be sex to have Philemon and the Velvet Room sisters as bosses,or maybe playable characters.
I can dream...

There's a big difference in my mind between FFVII milking and the few games associated with P3 and 4 which have all been tastefully done and included significant new content that fans like myself appreciate. ;)

@OrangeArmy : Hell yeah, Margaret and Elizabeth would make awesome fighters.

But Philemon isn't really part of P3 and P4, that would be surprising...

@ElReminator - All evidence points to the fact that she's going to be the announcer character again.
